Welcome to Rails Kits, a new source of quality Rails code for you to use in your projects. More than just plugins, these starter kits can act as the foundation of your new Rails application. You can save hours of time using these kits, skipping the boring stuff and diving right into the code that makes your application different from all the rest.

The first Rails Kit is the Software as a Service Rails Kit, which provides you a complete subscription management and recurring billing solution, right out of the box. This full Rails application, based on work I’ve done for myself and various clients, is well-tested and is ready to be a quick start for building your hosted web service. Get it today!

This is awesome, and a great idea! I’m anxious to see what else comes of this. Right off the bat, SaaS is one that I’ll need very soon. Thanks!

The kit sounds pretty cool. But I strongly suggest you guys open-source the code and offer that version for non-commercial use. I guess there’s some risk of people just stealing code (and your price is pretty reasonable), but I’m not likely to adapt your stack without seeing how it works first.

Hey Scott, how would you do “software as a service” for non-commercial use?

Looks like a great kit that definitely fills a need.

Aside from the licensing, what’s the difference between the two offerings of SaaS (single site vs multi-site) — is the code identical? If I buy the single site version now and want to use it on multiple sites later is there an upgrade path (i.e. discount on the multi-site license)? What does the license buy me? Just the code; code and documentation; code, documentation, and updates; something else?

Licensing is the only difference. You do get a discount on the multi-site for the cost of the single-site if you want to upgrade. The license gets you the code, documentation, and updates.

This is a great idea and I hope that there are many more great kits to come!
